I've been a PC user all my life...until yesterday. I just bought my first Mac. Now I want to know if there is any way that I can move my iTunes library from my PC to my PowerBook without having to rip all of my cds again.
I moved the actual song files onto my iPod in hard drive mode and then copied them to my PowerBook, but now my PowerBook will not let me import those songs into iTunes.
Suggestions? Am I SOL?

has the lowest cost replacement parts if you break them

Well, technically they do! However shipping is a bit expensive and i'm hoping they WILL actually ship it. I requested overnight shipping on Wed, and it looks like I am going to have to wait til monday to get the part. not to happy...
Im tired of listening to a 5500 rpm fan in my ear... at least it is cool!

I believe you mean: to shut, not shutter? :D
Actually, the word shutter is sometimes used to mean "to shut down"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shutter - definition #7
I first experienced this last year. It's really annoying not being able to access sales reports or edit prices during that period. It's all automated. It seems pretty unprofessional to me. Just have a skeleton crew on call in case of failure.

I've heard from AppleInsider that TRIM is long due to the macs and that Apple will enable TRIM support in Lion update...
After I've installed an Intel x25-m G2 SSD onto my 2010 MBP 13", the benchmarks were low compared to that on Windows platform. I also noticed the Apple's own stock SSD (mostly Toshiba or Samsung) have aggressive GC, but their read/write speeds are off compared to many decent SSD's on the market, like sandforce powered OCZ Vertex 3, or intel G3.
Funny thing is that Apple's own solid state drives has their own GC, and enables TRIM on-the-fly, as reported by Anandtech, but I wasn't very sure.
Has anyone have any ideas if and when TRIM will be implemented on macs, since it is really needed for people with SSD's in their macs?
TRIM is already implemented on Lion. You can even enable it on 10.6.7 if you use the IOAHCIFamily.kext from a 2011 MBP.
The trick is that both Lion and 10.6.7 (using the MBP 2011 kext above) look for an SSD with the model name "APPLE SSD". What you need to do is hex edit IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage and replace the two instances of "APPLE SSD" with the first 9 character of your SSD drive as it appears in system profiler. (In my case "OCZ-VERTE").
Theres a lot more information here -> http://forum.hardmac.com/index.php?showtopic=10020
And heres confirmation that it does indeed work (this is a snow leopard pic, Ive also done this in Lion).

The real question is, wether this is a stop-gap measure, or if Apple intend to continue this trend into the future and only support trim on native apple ssd's. Would be nice to not have to load a hex editor after every delta/combo update.

Is there any reason you can't figure out how to use copy paste from the screenshot within preview?
No, I guess not. I could probably do copy and paste. I was trying to use the screen shot feature instead to see how it works.

Actually, you only need to copy your whole library to the iPod's hard drive portion, then drag the entire folder to the iTunes icon on your Mac. iTunes will automatically look for songs to copy and add them to your library as needed.

I was experiencing the same message ("None of the items in this playlist can be burned to disc", even while trying to burn a regular audio CD.
The message appeared when I had the playlist selected on the left, then pressed burn.
I tried checking all the check boxes next to the songs in the list. This allowed me burn the disc.
It seems like a bug -- why wouldn't itunes just alert me that "no items were selected to burn"?

LOL
all very good advice/info/support.
anyway, the issue is real.
the screen sits away from windows and the sun.
i don't smoke.
there's no dog.
the areas that are yellow tinged follow the edges of the screen and best i can figure, it's the pixels burning out in a weird way, or (less likely in my view) dustparticles inside the glass that's making it discolored.

I'll have to check into Pro Tools, including whether I can transfer my Windows license to Mac, which I doubt - so I may end up going with Logic.
Excellent suggestion on the RAM - that must mean it has 4 slots, need to install in pairs and I don't waste what ships with the machine? And the i7 sounds like a good choice too.
Thanks for the advice!
No worries :)
That's right. It has four slots and it does need to be installed in pairs. 2x2GB and 2x4GB should work great. I've got 12GB in my 09 27" iMac.
If you're unable to transfer the license, you could just buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and install it on a partition (Which you would create with BootCamp Assistant). Then you can boot into OS X or into Windows 7 (for Pro Tools).

I have my Xbox doing 1080p thru component and it looks fine. I have not tried HDDVD yet but assume it will be OK.
One thing I did notice, When I had it set to 1080i and a played a DVD, the TV would IDENT the source as 480p, now no matter what I put in the Xbox it IDENTs the source as 1080p.
The XB360 setting will always say 1080p as that's what it is outputting when set to that, but when you play a DVD, it will be 480p on the set over component.
Upscaling DVD is only over VGA or HDMI.
I just tried it and my XB360 switched to 480p when playing a DVD.
